R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church in Houston is 
marking a half-century in service to the residents of the Bayou City 
with its 50th Year Jubilee to be held on August 26, 2006; and
	WHEREAS, Founded in July 1956, the church began in the home of 
the Reverend W. R. Hancock with six members; by 1958, the 
congregation acquired its first building, and under the leadership 
of Reverend Hancock, continued to grow and thrive; and
	WHEREAS, Today, the members of Fellowship Missionary Baptist 
Church are led by the Reverend Nelson LaFleur, who has ably served 
the body since Reverend Hancock's passing in 1985; they built a new 
sanctuary in 1995 and continue to benefit their community through 
an outreach program and street ministry; and
	WHEREAS, For half a century, Fellowship Missionary Baptist 
has served as a source of strength and inspiration to those who have 
worshiped there, and the church stands as a tribute to the faith and 
dedication of its members, past and present, who have devoted their 
time, prayers, and resources to ensure its continued existence; 
now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate all 
associated with the Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church on its 
50th Year Jubilee and extend to them best wishes for many more years 
of meaningful worship together; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the church as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
